Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

When I read this I can almost smell the salty air & taste the crunchy chocolatey bugs.
My dad didn't actually write that, but it was his favorite poem & over the years he had read it to a lot of people. He also loved Clair de Lune. Two of many things that make me think of him.

I've never watched that movie because I figured it would be sad, but now I'm curious. I'll be a brave girl, grab a box of tissue & watch it.

You've got to watch it!!
Great movie.

Is your mom still there? We put this poem on my dads grave marker. He loved this one & used it often. I'm sure you've heard it a thousand times.

Turns out my mom is planning on staying here for 5 months.



I think that that is a good thing... maybe...

Never heard that poem before ... it is a nice one.

Whoa! 5mo's? Pretty smart of her to stay out of the blazing Texas heat.

I love this picture of my dad. 17mos & my second Fathers Day with out him. We obviously celebrate DH (who is an amazing father) but the holiday is definitely not the same without your own dad.

What a great picture.

Thanks. My favorite pics are always the random, spontaneous ones.

My Fathers Day was much like any other apart from getting the flight details from my eldest. She's going to be here on the 22nd.

Good afternoon, Pond. For some reason I was unable to get on site this morning.

Make the adjustments and treasure the moments while you can.

Hi Sour
I couldn't access the site either. It was their problem, not ours.
